Help me set up these Webers, Basic Weber questions Options

[MikeK]

Hi friends. I'm currently installing some Weber clones on my 70 and have run into some issues. I'm using a CB linkage and filter bases. I tried installing the carbs with the linkage to the rear of the car, but the drop links hit the torsion springs used on the trunk. I flipped the bases so the crossbar is towards the front of the car, but the linkage needs to rotate counter-clockwise (see photo) in order to operate the carbs. I guess I could run the throttle arm on the top of the linkage and pull it that way, but I would prefer the arm to be in the down position. I was thinking maybe a custom cable which would be longer and come in from the back or perhaps some kind of lever to reverse the rotation?

I don't know, but I'm sure this has been dealt with in the past. Just looking for an elegant solution. As a side note, tall air cleaners most definitely don't fit the passengers side.

Best wishes for your project.

That is the exact same regulator that caused problems on our motor. We used -8AN lines and could not get the fuel pressure to stay steady at 3 PSI even though it says right on it that it's good for 1.5 to 25 PSI. Hope you have better luck with it, but some friendly advice to keep an eye on it.
